Managing Collections

You can create a collection that points to your favorite reports, explorations, stored processes, tables, queries, folders, and favorite groups. A collection is like a group of bookmarks.

To create a new collection:

Do one of the following:
- On the home page, click Manage to the right of the My Content heading. The Manage My Content window is displayed.
  
  Click to open the menu, and then select Create a Collection. The Create a Collection window is displayed.
  
  Create a Collection Window
- In the object inspector, click Collections. Then, select Create a Collection. The Create a Collection window is displayed.
  
  Create a Collection Window for the Object Inspector
Enter a Name for the collection.
Click Browse to select a Location for the collection. The Choose a Location window is displayed.

Select an existing folder or create a new one. You can also select an existing collection. Click OK to return to the Create a Collection window.

Note: When you create a new collection, you can add items to it only from within the Manage My Content window if the collection is a root collection in My Collections. For example, if you create Collection B, and add it to Collection A, then Collection B appears on the right side of the Manage My Content window and you cannot add items to it.
(Optional) If you opened the Create a Collection window from the object inspector, then you can clear the Add the new collection to My Content check box. This means the new collection to will not be displayed on the home page next to the Favorites link.
Click Add. The new collection will appear on the left in the Manage My Content window.

To rename a collection, right-click on the name of the collection in the Manage My Content window. Then, select Rename. Type a new name and then press Enter.

To permanently delete a collection, right-click on the name of the collection in the Manage My Content window. Then, select Delete. Click OK in the confirmation message that is displayed.

To remove a collection under the My Content heading on the home page, right-click on the name of the collection in the Manage My Content window. Then, select Remove from My Content. Click Remove in the confirmation message that is displayed.
